First time PbP player, hi all!

Heya everyone! I'm Joey.

I've been playing TTRPGs for a while, mostly GMing for D&D5e and recently for Pathfinder 2e. But I've never had a PbP experience and I'm excited to give it a shot!

I have absolutely no expectations/experience when it comes to what a PbP game should look or feel like, so I'm excited to try and out and see how I enjoy it. From what I've seen so far, y'all seem like a friendly approachable community :)

I very much enjoy learning new systems and playing in different genres of games, so I don't think I'd be able to say I have a "favorite" of either of those. Just excited to try new things! Any recommendations or tips for a first timer are always appreciated of course. Thanks!

Welcome, Joey! You shouldn't have any trouble finding a 5e or Pf game here. You're also in the right place if you want to try new systems. Are you interested in other genres than fantasy? Nothing against it, just curious!

Welcome, Joey!

Welcome Aboard!

Well Met and glad to meet you :)

You know, I haven't had much experience with non-fantasy RPGs! Add that to the list of things I'd love to try.

Any games or genres in particular you're wanting to try? We might be able to point you in the right direction to try something new.

Hi Friend Joey!

I have played on several boards for more than a decade. I would say that the PbP experience here is the best I've ever seen - the enthusiasm, responsiveness, and writing among players are great, and the interface is really well done with a lot of cool features. This place might spoil you for others ...

Welcome to the party pal!

Hey buddy. To get a better idea of how PbP works, maybe take a look at the public games. Seeing a game really helped me when I first arrived.

Here's The Wild Beyond the Witchlight.
